Serena O’Meara’s arrangement of César Franck’s Panis Angelicus is for pedal harp and any of the following instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, trumpet in B-flat, trombone, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, violin, viola, cello, or contrabass. Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) wrote “Sacris Solemniis” for the liturgy of the Feast of Corpus Christi. Panis Angelicus (“Bread of Angels”) was a verse in that Latin hymn. It has been reset by many composers, including César Franck (1822-1890). Franck’s Panis Angelicus within his Messe à trois voix (Mass for Three Voices) has become his most famous piece.

Panis Angelicus (Pedal Harp and Melody Instrument)
There is very little repertoire written specifically for clarinet and harp, which makes this arrangement especially valuable. It works beautifully in performance—the balance between instruments is natural, and the ending harmony parts add richness and appeal, making it particularly moving in a church setting. I highly recommend this piece for use in church services or other sacred events. Feel free to use our video. https://youtu.be/pBwcZYiuw9A
